Has anyone heard of the Connecting Threads Warehouse Sale? Ir is supposed to be somewhere in Ohio. I heard it is fabulous. Lots of books and fabric by the pound. If so how often do they have the sale? And when is the next one?
|
They had it in August. Not sure if it's once a year or not.
I didn't get to it but next time............. :) |
that would be worth the trip!
|
Wish it was in MY area. :cry:
|
Where in Ohio is the sale?
|
It was in August in Grove City. I went with a friend, and if it's going to be an annual event, we won't miss it! Wow, we had fun and got so much fabric. All fabric was $2.96 a pound, and books were $3 (I think). They also had bolts of fabric, yarn, kits, and I think that's it. I spent about $40 and I filled two 13-gallon trash bags with fabric.

connecting threads tends to be on the thin side so you might actually get a little more then 3 yards. |
I've read on here that their batiks are thin, but I don't use batiks. Their other cotton fabrics that I've bought (other than at the warehouse sale) are very good quality. One thing I noticed about the fabric I purchased at the warehouse sale was that much of what I picked out was dated 2010 and 2011 on the selvage.

Hmmm, I didn't know about this. Although I'm in Canada, I would be about 4 hrs away. Not a bad trip to take. I best mark this in my calendar so I don't forget.

Do they advertise it somewhere? I live very near but had no idea they were from here :oops: Guess I'm not very observant :lol:
|
As I recall the name on the building was something like Craft America and I think it was near Bolton Field. A friend of mine is on their weekly newsletter list and she told me about it. I think this year was the second year and it is for Ohio residents only. We could pay by check only--no cash or credit cards.

that is odd to pay by check only!
|
The only reason I could think of for paying by check only was to prove that we were actually residents of Ohio, since we had to provide a photo ID and I'm sure most people used their drivers license.
|
i wonder why it's for ohio residents only? I just changed my checks over to SC... figures.
